I am, thankfully, not a lawyer. However I'm not sure you understand my point. One of the big arguments being presented by the TMO Young Lawyer team is that because there were only 5 TMO in zone and no raid mobs up, it was not a raid dispute. My point was (and is) that because BDA had 20+ people, they were a raid. The number of TMO and the status of the zone are irrelevant. My point was not "BDA gets to claim a raid dispute because, like, that's their opinion, man".
The other point the TMO young lawyer squad tried to make that Dinacarl acted on his own, they were not liable. And I don't agree with that one, either. An organization is responsible for its members. Maybe not in a directly WE CAN SUE YOU sense, but they are. When a cop shoots a civilian, everyone starts asking questions of the chief of police. And they are pissed off, rightly so. Which brings us to:

Not yet. The bouncer example attaches liability in that physical torts are practically expected as part of the fulfillment of his duties. However, the Glitter Factory isn't liable when their bouncer goes across the street and blows up Bushwacker's Gentlemen's club which would ultimately benefit the former.
Training the shit out of someone is not to be expected of or anticipated of a pulling monk unless Tortue is on the job.

Let's also not forget that Unbrella was in the zone - a fact which I mentioned prominently in my original post. That would be like your bouncer taking a flamethrower to your competition's club across the street while the owner looks on approvingly and talks about how it will make an interesting court case. I think his presence invalidates most of your examples. And yes, if Dinacarl had randomly decided to declare war on BDA with no other TMO aware of his actions (cough svenn cough), I wouldn't be quite so quick to assign blame, although I would think the organization should do what they can to compensate the victims. Which I think Cobble is working on.
Also these arguments in general are a great example of people trying to rules lawyer away common sense.
